Very occasionally we find something we acquire for our own use and discover it is worth sharing with others... worldwide.
This is one of those moments. This Asus 1201N (the brand Nerds like to use) is the third one we have bought.
The Asus (10" screen and REAL LIFE 10.5 hour battery life) Windows XP

bought a few months ago is a very decent little unit for web browsing and even Microsoft Office uses. But it was not strong enough to use Dragon Speaking (voice to text) software we bought to write a book, so we got the 1201N Netbook on steroids....

Customizable with lots of options
The 1201N Atom 330 processor is a DUAL CORE table top Intel inside this very light 12", great, clean display NETBOOK, into whIch we consolidated three other laptops and which is now our main unit. Generally crisp reaction times with this visually "cute toy" unit, which has received excellent reviews across the Internet.
Instead of a larger optional 7200 RPM hard drive, we settled for a Turbo state of the art SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE. Only 120Gb but no moving parts, no spinning disc, and NO NEED TO DEFRAGMENT - in fact do not ever defragment as it can damage the hard drive.
It added a rather large $570 or so to the unit price but increases battery life somewhat. Getting 4 Gb of memory installed (for the Dragon software) added to the price, which was way over what is needed for this unit with basic configuration.
